You don't need to use portdowngrade --- that's for reverting to an
earlier version of a port, but the php52 stuff is in the present-day tree.

What you would need to do is delete all of the php5-5.3.2 ports and
everything that depended on them, then install the php52-5.2.13 ports,
and then reinstall any PHP applications etc. that you need.

Note: make sure to remove /usr/local/etc/php.conf as part of the
deleting stage -- that's a small Makefile that tells the ports what
version of PHP is in use on your system.

	Cheers,
